Just looking for a Progress Update on when the pci-e adapter/molex power (fix) will be available?
 
There are a ton of EVGA customers sitting with highend cards (running stock clocks) waiting for this
 
Can we get somekind of update please
 
 
 

(remaining as calm as possible)
 
We were told by EVGA that the PCIE molex power adaptor was being worked on...
--->and that they would be available near the end of November....
 
It is now November 21.
 
(remaining as calm as possible)
 
I have been unable to run my EVGA Classified 760 SLI setup at anything over stock clocks for MONTHS.

I (and many others) have been waiting with our top end EVGA motherboards for this fix, and in the interest of keeping us informed (and calm) I belive that EVGA needs to be as open and honest with us as possible.

The last rummor I heard was that this could be delayed untill the first week in December, But you know you can not belive everything you read on the Internet !!!!

"our supplier will be unable to ship till January.."
"It didnt work out in testing, we are looking at something else..."
"the build spec order was incorrect and needed to be re-submitted..."
"we were overwhelmed by the 580 release and will be getting back to it..."
"there were some delays, we hope to ship in first week in December"
ETC

Those are all information and answers, I can respect and deal with calmly.

---> is neither calming, reassuring or informative 
 

The last update was that it would hit end of November/first week December.  So probably the week after Thanksgiving.  If there isn't another update as of yet, then the last update should still be what stands.  Why would you need all those details?  They gave us an expected date of release and that should suffice.

I had 2 PSUs and boards melt @ stock clock speeds and voltages... Have a Merry Christmas!

you need the fix for the e758 exspecial because of its traces. you will only see results from the fix when overclocking one extreme config like ln.

I wonder how we'll be notified that we have the "configuration" meeting the requirements for the molex fix?  Also wondering if they will be offered to purchase if folks have a board not falling under the "configuration" for more then just one?  At this time I simply unplugged my 2nd 480 till I get this fix.  Not risking my system frying and losing both work and game data.

 
In a simmilar boat, i only ordered two 580's, i just hold off ordering the other two, untill this is compleated, Not only does this help me feel safer, but it might give time for prices to drop, additional bundeled gifts to appear, or some new MIR's to be assigned, either way, it's win/win, ( well for me anyway )

I've overclocked the pants off my 480s on a 758 and I had no problems.  Hell, while I'm waiting on my Classy-3 for step-up I'm overclocking the pants off of two 480s on a Crosshair II mobo with a Phenom II x4 965 with no issues.  Is it possible that it is not all 480s, just specific ones pulling too much power?

 
I was told it was with specific configurations. I was running a e760, a Antec TPQ 1200, 2 GTX 480s in SLI and a GT 240 for physX all at stock speeds. 2 PSU and boards melted.
 
The second one that melted I had the GT240 out of the system so it wasnt that. The only constant were the GTX480s. I have to give EVGA props, they were going to replace the board again along with both graphics cards with new unopened items. About 10 mins after the deal was made I was called back and offered the Classy 3, I just had to wait a week until it was released and thats what I did.
 
My only complaint is my system was down from May to the first week of Oct and my GTX480s sat unused. Now they are outdated and I didnt even get to enjoy them being top dogs for more than a month  
 
If your not having issues by now then I would say your safe. Just check you 24-pin plug to make sure 

Great, how do you become one " of the concerned members in the community"?

He means the concerned ones are the ones who are needing it ASAP.  Other people who don't have a need for it right away and may need it later are the other group.

Well not only that, but those who are at highest risk for seeing this issue. (Keep in mind it is rare) Meaning SLI systems, dual or triple GTX 480 or 580, etc.
 
 

2*480 on air/water = no risk.

It would be based on those who posted in the community first.

Small update on this.

We will have a limited number of units late this month/early next. Because of the limited quantity, we will send out units directly to some of the concerned members in the community.

The rest of the units will be ready later next month.

Thank you very much for the updated information
(calming effect noted, thx)

hopefully i will get one for my e758 board.
